Haha, I've never actually seen the film (Downfall is it?) I would like to see it, but I know when I do now I'm going to imagine any one of the rants that get added over what actually is being talked about in the film

I personally try to keep my rages for things that actually matter a damn, not over game stuff.

Priorities and all that.

@Ascalam: Sure, they have FW, and can one-shot models - but a lot of those models DO have protection against it. EW or invulnerable saves (which still work against FW - until you fail it). As for daemons - who plays them anyway, except WHFB players?

It's all marines, marines, marines, here (with the odd DE).

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

It's not a force weapon. If it was a last ditch attack with a force weapon, taken as you die, i wouldn't mind so much. It would be marginally cheesy, but ok by me in the name of heroic fluff. You would still have to roll to wound/penetrate and then make a psychic test to instakill if you managed to score an unsaved wound. Invulnerable saves would work against it, and it would have no effect on vehicles. Eternal Warrior would negate it.

This is NOT what heroic sacrifice does.


When the person with Heroic Sacrifice dies in base to base with a model (regardless of what kind of model) in either player's assault phase they roll a psychc test on a ld of 10. If this comes off (and it usually will) then then roll to hit you with a rather high WS, and will likely hit. If they miss they are removed as a casualty (no lost wounds- removed from play). If they hit they take the model of their choice in base to base with them- removed from play. Titans, chaos gods, vehicles: any model in the game. No saves are allowed, no return from death abilities work. They are just gone.

THIS isn't cheesy? I need a new dictionary

The Viletide: Daemons of Nurgle/Deathguard: 7400 pts
Disclples of the Dragon - Ad Mech - about 2000 pts
GSC - about 2000 Pts
Rhulic Mercs - um...many...
Circle Oroboros - 300 Pts or so
Menoth - 300+ pts

I have to agree with this particular instance of cheese, and I play the codex. (well, inquisition, moved to it for up to date rules, but still) Think i'll have to take a brotherhood champion up against that guy's warlord class titan, just so he can be killed in close combat against it and likely take it down with him. 100 pts for 2500 sounds like a fair trade, right? >.>
